A proposal in praxis, Lunchcare for Climate will introduce to Future School visitors and participants a selection of vegetarian dishes from the lunch menus of Korean schools, presenting an eco-friendly alternative for the kinds of meals served not just in schools but hospitals, military bases, nursing homes and childcare centres: one of many alternatives for managing the ongoing climate crisis. Both a simple meal and much more, this event will build on the Eco-friendly School Meal Movement in the Republic of Korea, which began with one parent in 1996 before eventually becoming a fully-fledged social movement, resulting in actual policy change.
